Option 1: Mix meat and veggies up in a blender. If he won't eat it, try again next feeding. And again. Eventually he'll eat it.
Option 2: Offer nothing but veggies/greens until he eats those. Only offer meats after he's eaten a serving of veggies.
It's not hard to make them eat healthy, you just need to be slightly more stubborn then they are.

mixing up with meat based food or blending together can help

What Fatal said. Either hide them or just hold out. They won't starve themselves just to avoid eating some greens and veggies
